Watch James Hook in action:

James Hook is widely regarded as one of the most talented young players in world Rugby. Before making the step up to regional rugby with the Ospreys, Hook enjoyed great success for Neath RFC, becoming the record holder for the highest individual points tally within a season. Hook played his way into the Ospreys first XV in the 2006-07 season, giving outstanding performances at both fly-half and inside centre. He made his home debut for Wales against Australia in 2006 and showed great composure in scoring 13 points as Wales drew the match 29-29. He was named as Wales' Man of the Match. In May 2009, Hook was included into the 2009 British and Irish Lions touring party of South Africa. He was called into the squad as a utility back to cover his Wales team mate, Leigh Halfpenny, who was forced to withdraw from the beginning of the tour with a thigh injury. He made his Lions debut on the 3rd June, playing against the Super 14 Lions. Hook came off the bench in that game to score one try and kick 3 conversions.
